Taurus

Very dark and gritty film. It dances on the line of fact and fiction for Colson's life. There is an element of the film that is introduced in the beginning, is later addressed in the film, but I think that Sutton could have tied it in with Colson's character to make a deeper impact on the film. Overall it is a good film but it could have had some tweaks made to it order for it to be a 10 but no film is perfect! I saw it screened at the Newport Beach Film festival! I think that Colson and Sutton would make a great pairing and could be good for both of their careers in film in the long run!!!!!!

Taurus is one of the worst films I have ever seen. As someone who has seen many films depicting mental health & addiction this must be one of the most one dimensional attempts ever made. MGK is desperate to portray himself as a broken angst ridden artist at the best of times. This film feels self absorbed and try hard. The dialogue is awful. The acting even worse. The scenes of drug use felt so text book with empty dialogue which felt meaningless and so Hollywood without any grit or emotion. Even if MGKs character is meant to be depressed I still should have felt some of the internal pain from the character and I felt nothing. There was no substance to anything in this film.

Full disclosure: I only streamed this because hot Megan Fox was in it. At least I think she was.

This movie was so freaking bad that I spaced out many times during it. Frankly, I only remember Megan for a few minutes maybe 50 minutes into the movie.

But as I said, this is a space out movie. It is one of the worst written and directed films I've seen in about a decade. It is so slow you will be drowsing off following the credits.

I'm not even sure why this movie was made, or how it got backing. It goes no where. You have no sympathy or empathy for the main character whatsoever.

Please, never direct a movie again.

The vibes I got from this film are intitled rocker with absolutely zero accountability. I've struggled with mental health my whole life & can resonate with deep pain but the self-centered, entitled attitude this man seems to have in this film is beyond comprehension. I can understand being raw and putting yourself out there but the only vibes I got from this film is that this person is clearly allowing their mental illness to completely take over their life and make exuses for every poor choice they decide to make. Most definitely no inspiration to be found in this film , more then just pure embarrassment of the toxic behavior exused simply by "I'm a rockstar " give me a break.

Have to admit I only watched this for MGK who I find mildly interesting. I don't like most of his music and if you go into this expecting to hear a bunch of his music, forget it, this movie is about one drug addicted star and their is little music to it. There isn't much of a story to it either, little character development, and it really just qualifies as a slice of life drama. In that instance it works. He's actually a fairly good actor even if he's not given much to do and that seems to be the main problem with this movie. There is no depth to it. We learn nothing about him, or really any of the characters. Maddie Hasson, who could be Florence Pugh's twin, steals the movie as the assistant. There are some well done and interesting scenes and the movie is well shot and scored. It comes across as a realistic look at one segment of the music and entertainment industry but it definitely needed more of everything, more plot, more drama, more dialogue, more background.
